1. Install Junicode, it's by far the best font for medievalists 2. Find your characters in the word insert character menu, and set yourself some simpler shortcuts for them (mine go alt-t-h and ctrl-alt-t-h, I believe). (http://junicode.sourceforge.net/)

1. Install Junicode, it's by far the best font for medievalists
2. Find your characters in the word insert character menu, and set yourself some simpler shortcuts for them (mine go alt-t-h and ctrl-alt-t-h, I believe). (http://junicode.sourceforge.net/)
